Body Hair: Bare-ly There...or I Don't Care???

It's winter in my neck of the woods. There aren't many trips to the pool, the shorts have been packed away. If you pulled up a pant leg right now - what would you find?

I've blamed my father for many of my bad qualities in life, my big feet, I'm a bit of a yeller, crooked teeth, dry skin...but the worst of all of them - I'm HAIRY!!! The other things can be fixed or easily maintained. But the thing I struggle with most is being hairy.

I remember the first time I shaved my legs, I took a souvenir Royals cup full of water and a yellow Bic razor up to my room. I screamed for an hour before I told my mom what I did. The agony of razor burn, cuts, and the rose scented lotion put me into a leg shaven coma.

I've tried everything, different kinds of razors, using shaving gel, shaving cream, ethnic hair conditioner, shampoo, Nair...and the dreaded waxing (both at home and at a salon). Nothing worked, nothing helped...so I just told myself that I didn't need to do it all the time.

A couple years back I had laser hair removal on my underarms and chin. That almost saved my life...the chin was just annoying, but the underarms broke out every time I pulled out a tank top and I couldn't shave for a week in between. Ask me how the laser hair removal went!

Then I found those Intuition razors...they totally work if I have shaved recently. But you will ruin the razor if you have waited a month or so (yah...I admit it)

And what about "those girls" who take trips to Brazil to fix their problems. My philosophy is...if it's not creepin' out of your swimsuit, lol - nevermind.

One day, we will go back to the ancient days and shaving will be a think of the past. Until then, I vow to shave before all dates, swimming pool trips, and when I wear shorts or a skirt. For now, I'll just wear pants to bed and really long socks! No one will ever know...

Thanks Pappy for everything you have given me. I'll be sure to pass on the family flaws to my daughter, I'm sure she will make you just as proud as I have! BTW...I already warned her it was your fault!
